R7 is selected from the group consisting of alkyl groups containing from one to eight carbon atoms, alkenyl groups containing from two to eight carbon atoms, aryl, aralkyl, and heterocyclic groups, whereby the alkyl, alkenyl, aryl, aralkyl and heterocyclic groups may be substituted with one or more members of the group consisting of halogen, alkyl groups containing from one to three carbon atoms, alkoxy groups containing from one to three carbon atoms, and nitro;

R8 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and alkyl groups containing from one to six carbon atoms; and X1 is selected from the group consisting of --O-- and --NH--; and

R3 is selected from the group consisting of ##EQU7## and ##EQU8## in which formulas

X2 is selected from the group consisting of --NH-- and --O--;

R9 is selected from the group consisting of H, --CH3 and --C2 H5 ;

R10 is selected from the group consisting of alkyl groups containing from one to eight carbon atoms, cycloalkyl groups containing from three to seven carbon atoms, aryl, aralkyl, and heterocyclic groups whereby the alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl, aralkyl and heterocyclic groups may be unsubstituted or substituted with one or more groups selected from the class consisting of amino groups, substituted amino groups such as methylamino, diethylamino or acetamido groups, nitro, azido, alkoxy groups containing from one to four carbon atoms, and aralkoxycarbonylamino groups.

Illustrative examples of radicals included in the definitions given above are:

alkyl: methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, 2-ethyl-hexyl

cycloalkyl: cyclopropyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl, cyclohexyl, cycloheptyl

alkoxy: methoxy, ethoxy, propyloxy, isopropyloxy, butoxy, isobutoxy

halogen: F, Cl, Br

alkenyl: allyl, propenyl

aryl: phenyl, naphtylmethyl

aralkyl: benzyl, naphtylmethyl

heterocyclic groups: ##SPC1##

The above illustrative examples of radicals illustrate, where applicable, all the radicals R1 -R10 to the extent of the definition given to each radical and within the boundaries with regard to number of carbon atoms which may be prescribed for each radical. The compounds of the invention are of value in the treatment of infectious diseases in man or animals caused by bacterial organisms. They may be isolated and used as such but also, depending on the presence of basic or acidic groups in the molecule, in the form of salts with pharmaceutically acceptable organic or inorganic acids or bases. Examples of suitable acids are hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid, acetic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, and fumaric acid. Examples of suitable bases are sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, aluminium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, non-toxic amines as trialkylamines, including triethylamine, procaine, dibenzylamine, N-benzyl-beta-phenethylamine, 1-ephanamine, N,N1 -dibenzylethylenediamine, dehydroabiethylamino, N,N1 -bis-dehydroabietylethylenediamine, N-(lower)-alkylpiperidine (e.g N-ethyl-piperidine) and other bases which have been used for the preparation of salts with penicillins.

The side chain of the penicillin structure in formula I contains an asymmetric carbon atom in the α-position. Depending on the configuration around this carbon atom the compound will occur in two different diastereoisomeric forms which are both biologically active. Likewise the ester groups may contain asymmetric atoms, e.g. when R9 = CH3 or C2 H5, giving rise to different diasteroisomeric forms which also all are biologically active. It is to be understood that the invention comprises the pure diasteroisomers as well as mixtures of them.

It is known that penicillins of the general structure (IA): ##EQU9## or salts thereof, where R1 and R2 are as defined above, have good antibacterial activity against grampositive and gramnegative bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Neth. Pat. No. 69 016 46; Neth. Pat. No. 68 18 057; Neth. Pat. No. 69 08 909; U.S. Pat. No. 34 81 922; U.S. Pat. No. 3 479 339; U.S. Pat. No. 3 483 188; U.S. Pat. No. 3 579 501; Swed. Pat. Appl. No. 6667/71; 6668/71.)

Compounds of the general formula IA are, however, poorly absorbed when administered orally and the compounds have in general to be given by injection. It is one purpose of the present invention to provide esters of these compounds, which are well absorbed orally and then hydrolysed within the body to give blood and organ levels of the compounds of the general formula IA that are adequate for the treatment of infectious diseases, caused by bacteria sensitive to penicillins of the general formula IA. To achieve the full antibacterial activity of the penicillins with general formula IA it is necessary to choose such ester groups that are rapidly hydrolysed in vivo under release of the penicillins with the general formula IA. It is an essential feature of the present invention to provide such ester groups that are rapidly hydrolysed in the body after oral absorption.

Said compounds having the formula I are well tolerated, give low frequency of side-effects and may readily be used in pharmaceutical preparations, either as such or in the form of their salts, and they can be intermixed with solid carriers or adjuvants or both. In such preparations the ratio between the therapeutic substance and the carriers and adjuvants may vary between 1 % and 95 %. The preparation may either be processed to for instance tablets, pills or dragees or can be supplied to medical containers, such as capsules or as regards mixtures they can be filled on bottles. Pharmaceutically acceptable, organic or inorganic, solid or liquid carriers may be used, suitably for oral or enteral administration or for topical application, in manufacturing the preparations. Gelatine, lactose, starch, magnesium stearate, talc, vegetabilic and animalic fats and oils, vegetabilic rubber and polyalkylene glycol and other known carriers for pharmaceuticals are all suitable for manufacturing preparations of said compounds. The preferred salt of the compounds of the invention is the hydrochloride, but salts with other inorganic or organic acids, also antibiotically active acids, may be used, for instance phosphates, acetates or salts with phenoxymethylpenicillin. Moreover the preparation may contain other pharmaceutical active components, being suitably administratable together with the compounds of the invention when treating infectious diseases. For instance other suitable antibiotical substances, e.g. gentamycin and polymyxin.

In the treatment of bacterial infections in man, the compounds of the invention are for example administered in amounts corresponding to 5 to 100 mg/kg/day, preferably in the range of 10 to 100 mg/kg/day in divided dosages, e.g. two, three or four times a day. They are administered in dosage units containing e.g. 175, 350, 500 and 1,000 mg of the compounds.

Suitable and preferred classes of the compounds of the invention are obtained by selecting in the compounds of formula I, R1 from a group of phenyl, 2- or 3-thienyl or 2- or 3-furyl, R2 from a group consisting of SO3 H, 5-tetrazolyl, benzylsulphonylamino, hydroxysulphonylamino, methoxy (hydroxy) phosphinylamino, hydroxy (phenyl) phosphinylamino, hydroxy (pentyl) phosphinylamino, (lower) acylureido, benzoylureido, guanylureido, 2- or 3-furoylureido, 2- or 3-thineylureido, and R3 from a group consisting of lower alkoxycarbonyloxymethyl, 1'-lower alkoxycarbonyloxy-ethyl, 1'-lower alkoxycarbonyloxy-propyl, lower alkoxycarbonylaminomethyl, 1'-lower alkoxycarbonylamino-ethyl, 1'-lower alkoxycarbonylamino-propyl, 1'-lower acyloxy-ethyl, 1'-lower acyloxy-propyl, phenoxycarbonyloxymethyl, 5-indanyloxycarbonyloxymethyl, 1'-phenoxycarbonyloxy-ethyl, 1'-(5-indanyloxy)carbonyloxy-ethyl, 1'-benzoyloxy-ethyl, 1'-benzoyloxy-propyl.

Still further classes of preferred compounds are obtained by substituting the acyloxy moieties or the alkoxycarbonyloxy, the acyloxycarbonyloxy-, the alkyloxycarbonylamino or the acyloxycarbonylamino groups in R1 and R2 with amino, methylamino or di(lower)alkyl groups.

Examples of suitable and preferred compounds of the invention are given in Table 1 below.

According to this method an activated carboxylic acid derivative II where R1' is R1, defined above, or, when R1 contains an amino or hydroxy group, a protected derivative of R1, and R2' is either R2, defined above, or in case R2 contains an amino or hydroxy group a protected derivative of R2, and COZ is a reactive group capable of reacting with an amino group under formation of an amide moiety, e.g. an acid chloride or its functional equivalent, is brought to react with an ester of 6- aminopenicillanic acid (III) where R3 is as defined above, under formation of a penicillin ester IV.

When R1' = R1 and R2' = R2 the product is a compound of the invention. When R1' or R2' contain amino or hydroxy groups that are protected, the protecting group is removed in at least one additional step to give the compounds of the general formula I. As protecting groups for the amino and hydroxy groups such protecting groups can be used that can be removed without destruction of the penicillin ring system. Such protecting groups known to the art are e.g. the benzyloxycarbonyl group which can be removed by catalytic hydrogenation, the o-nitrophenylsulfenyl group which can be removed by treatment with nucleophilic agents at acid pH (Jap. Pat. 505 176), the α-p-tolylsulphonyl-ethoxycarbonyl group which can be removed in basic agents such as sodium thiophenoxide, the β-trichloroethoxycarbonyl group which can be removed with zink in acetic acid, and the 1-methoxycarbonylpropen-2-yl group which can be removed by mild acidic treatment, as protecting groups for the amino groups and e.g. the benzyl group, which can be removed by catalytic hydrogenation, as protecting group for the hydroxy group.

The reaction constitutes an acylation of an ester of 6-aminopenicillanic acid and can be performed in the manner described for acylation of other ester of 6-aminopenicillanic acid (e.g. in Fr. Pat. No. 1 576 027). The acylating group -CO-Z in the compound II may be an acid chloride group, or a group functioning in the same way, e.g. an acid bromide, an acid azide, an anhydride, a mixed anhydride formed with an inorganic acid or an organic acid and especially with an alkoxyformic acid.

The compound II may also be a derivative obtained by reaction between a carboxylic acid of the formula ##EQU11## wherein R1' and R2' have the meaning specified above, and a carbodiimide or other compounds functioning in the same way such as N,N1 -carbonyldiimidazole, N-ethyl-5-phenylisoxazolium-3'-sulphonate or N-tert.butyl-5-methylisoxazolium perchlorate.

The reaction can be performed in organic solvents like diethylether, tetrahydrofuran, acetone, ethyl acetate, chloroform, methylene chloride, dimethylformamide, dimethyl sulfoxide, or hexamethylphosphoramide, in water or in aqueous organic solvents in presence of organic or inorganic bases like triethylamine, quinoline, pyridine, N-methyl-morpholine, sodium hydroxide, sodium bicarbonate or potassium carbonate.

The compound of the general formula IV may be isolated by extraction from the reaction mixture, if necessary after dilution with water and neutralization.

The esters of 6-aminopenicillanic acid with the general structure III may be prepared by treatment of 6-APA with compounds R3 --Y (V) where R3 has the same meaning as above and Y is halogen or a functionally equivalent group capable of reacting with a carboxy group under formation of an ester linkage, such as a sulphonic acid residue. The reaction is preferably performed in organic solvents like dimethylformamide or dimethylsulphoxide. When R3 in the final product of formula I contains a primary amino group such a primary amino group may need to be protected by a suitable protecting group during the reaction between 6-APA and R3 --Y. Suitable protecting groups are for example the groups mentioned in connection with R1' and R2' above.

Alternatively 6-acylaminopenicillanic acids with acyl groups that can be removed without destruction of the penicillin ring system are treated with R3 --Y to give esters of the 6-acylamino penicillanic acids from which the acyl groups then are removed to give the esters of 6-aminopenicillanic acid of the formula III. A preferred method consists of reacting a salt, e.g. the sodium or potassium salt of benzylpenicillin, with R3 --Y in an organic solvent like acetone, methylethylketone, chloroform, methylenechloride, dimethylformamide, dimethylsulphoxide or hexamethylphosphoramide or in a mixture of an organic solvent and water, e.g. aqueous acetone or dioxane, to give the corresponding ester of benzylpenicillin. The phenylacetyl side chain is then removed according to the method described in Neth. Pat. No. 6,401,421 or South African Pat. No. 67/2927 by treatment with phosphorous pentachloride in presence of a tertiary organic base to give an imino chloride which is reacted with an alcohol like propanol to give the corresponding imino ether which is hydrolyzed by addition of water or alcoholized to give the ester III. Alternatively the phenylacetyl side chain may be removed by enzymatic hydrolysis using a E.coli acylase according to method described in French Pat. No. 1,576,027. The mixture obtained may if desired be used for direct acylation without isolating the 6-aminopenicillanic acid ester.

In still another method N-protected 6-aminopenicillanic acids are reacted with R3 --Y to give the corresponding ester from which the protecting groups are removed to give the compounds of the general formula III. Examples of protecting groups which can be used are the benzyloxycarbonyl group which is removed by catalytic hydrogenation, the o-nitro-phenylsulphenyl group which can be removed by treatment with nucleophilic agents at acid pH (Jap. Pat. No. 505,176) and the trityl group which can be removed by mild acid hydrolysis.

Examples of suitable phosphorous halides are phosphorous pentachloride, phosphorous pentabromide, phosphorous oxychloride, phosphorous trichloride, etc. Phosphorous pentachloride is preferred. Examples of suitable alcohols with which the imino halide may be treated are lower alkyl alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, and n-propanol.

Penicillins with the formula V, where R1 and R2 are defined above are prepared by acylation of 6-aminopenicillanic acid according to known methods. Treatment of the penicillins with the formula VIII with a compound

R3 --Y V

where R3 is as defined above and Y is halogen preferably chlorine, bromine or iodine or a functionally equivalent group capable of reacting with the carboxyl group in the compound of the formula IV under formation of an ester linkage, such as a sulphonic acid residue, gives the compounds of the invention (I).

The reaction is preferably performed with a salt, e.g. a sodium, potassium, calcium or a trialkylammmonium salt or a tetraalkyl-ammonium salt, preferably the tetrabutylammonium salt, of the compound VIII in an organic solvent like acetone, tetrahydrofurane, chloroform, methylene chloride, dimethylformamide, dimethylsulphoxide or hexamethylphosphoramide or in a mixture of water and an organic solvent, e.g. aqueous dioxane or acetone.

PAC Preparation of 6-(α-Sulfo-phenylacetamido) penicillanic acid 3-(1'-ethoxycarbonyloxyethyl)ester sodium salt

To a stirred mixture of 6-amino penicillanic acid 3-(1'-ethoxycarbonyloxyethyl)ester p-toluene sulphonate (13.1 g, 26 mM) and dry triethylamine(4.8 g, 48 mM) in dry chloroform (100 ml) was added dropwise α-sulfophenylacetyl chloride (4.7 g, 20 mM) at -5°C. Stirring was continued for 40 minutes. Water was added (20 ml), the two layers were separated, the organic phase was washed with 0.05 N hydrochloric acid and water. The organic phase was dried and extracted with 0.5 N sodium bicarbonate solution (36 ml). The water phase was extracted with isopropylether and the isopropylether-free water phase was freeze-dried.

The IR spectrum (KBr) of the freeze-dried substance (7.6 g, 60.5 %, purity: 65.3 %) exhibited strong bands around 1780-1760 cm.sup.-1 (β-lactam and ester) and 1690 cm.sup.-1 (amide).

Degree of hydrolysis: B3 = 13.8 %; H3 = 24.2 %; R1 = 97 %; G0.5 = 66.5 %.

In the same way the 3-(1'-phenoxycarbonyloxyethyl) and the 3-(ethoxycarbonyloxymethyl) analogous ester derivatives were prepared.

PAC Preparation of 6-(α-Tetrazolyl)phenylacetamido) penicillanic acid 3-(1'-ethoxycarbonyloxyethyl)ester sodium salt

To a stirred mixture of 6-aminopenicillanic acid 3-(1'-ethoxycarbonyloxyethyl)ester p-toluenesulphonate (4.10 g, 8 mM) and dry triethylamine (1.6 g, 16 mM) in dry methylene chloride (25 ml) was added p-nitrophenyl α-(5-tetrazolyl)-phenylacetate (2.44 g, 7.5 mM) at -5°C. Stirring was continued for 2 hours, the cooling bath was then removed and stirring was continued for 24 hours at room temperature. It was then added to ice-water with stirring and the layers were separated. The organic phase was washed with water, 0.05 N hydrochloric acid and water. The organic phase was then dried and was treated with 16 mM of a 50 % solution of sodium 2-ethylhexanoate in n-butane. Upon evaporation of the solvent to a minimum amount a yellow solid separated, which was triturated and filtered off with ether (2.38 g, 64.5 %). Purity: 87.5 % (iodometric assay).
